Fairy Lifestate by Midge The Tree
A custom made supernatural. Place either a Maxis fairy statue from the gardening category or a 3t2 fairy trait into a Sims inventory and the game will recognize that Sim as a fairy. More mods are needed like fairy wings which can also be found on this page.
1.) Fairy Changelings by Kestrellyn
MidgeTheTree on tumblr made a great fairy lifestate, and released a mod that makes supernatural states (including fairy) hereditary, but this mod adds some improvements to that.
By default, Midge’s hereditary supernatural mod was fairly simple – two humans would always have human children, two fairies would always have fairy children, and a fairy and a human would have a 50/50 chance of either. Also, fairy children became fairies at the toddler stage, which means you could have a weird situation where a human couple puts a baby up for adoption, and then it is adopted by a fairy couple, and when it ages up to toddler it becomes a fairy because its parents are fairies, even though realistically it should be a human. Similarly, there would be issues with using Name the Father to change parentage. This mod fixes these problems, and also makes fairy genetics more interesting – there are now two genes that determine fairy characteristics, which are inherited in a Mendelian fashion just like hair and eye color. The first controls whether the sim has fairy wings. Wings are simply dominant over non-wings, like black hair over red hair. The second gene controls whether the fairy has access to magical abilities, but is more complicated than just being dominant or recessive – sims with two “magic” alleles will have access to all fairy magic, but sims with only one will have access to a smaller pool of less-powerful spells. Which spells they have access to can be configured in Midge’s spell mod (or will be configurable, when it’s updated) – instead of setting the “magical fairies” BCON value to 0 for off or 1 for on, now 0 means no fairies can use the spell, 1 means all fairies with at least some magical ability can use the spell, and 2 means that only fairies with full magical abilities can use the spell. The fairy magicalness gene also controls whether fairies can use pollen cloud pranks (all magical fairies) or talk to plants (only fully magical fairies).
When your sims have babies, with this mod there is a chance that the baby will be replaced by a fairy changeling. When this happens, the game will randomly choose two townies to be the biological parents of the child instead of your sims, and will give the child full fairy genetics. You will also get a dialog popup. Obviously how well this turns out depends on what kind of townies you have in your hood. If you have a low tolerance for “interesting” looking sims, you should probably create your own townies, or install some default face templates that you like.
2.) 3t2 Fairy Houses Made Functional by Midge The Tree
A Sims3 item conversion made for the Sims 2 made functional for plant sims or fairies. The interaction is non-autonomous and boosts plantsims’/fairies’ sunshine/energy motive while they’re using it, ending when sunshine is max or you cancel it.
3.) Boiling Oil’s Slow Aging Controller Updated for Fairies by Midge The Tree
An edit of Boiling Oil’s slow aging controller so you can extend fairy lifespans. Fairies age once a week and toddlers/childs/teens age normally, but it’s BCON configurable – read the original page for more details.
4.) Fairies Are Good Gardeners by Midge The Tree
Fairies will automatically be good gardeners even if they don’t have a gold gardening badge. This means when they do gardening things the boost to the crop’s quality will be that of a gold-badge gardener regardless of their badge level, but you still need to give them a gold badge for them to be able to plant more advanced crops. Fairies don’t earn badge points so badges must be manually given.
5.) Fairies Are Immortal by Midge The Tree
As an alternative to BO’s slow aging controller updated for fairies, you can just make fairies straight up immortal. Conflicts with the slow aging controller – if you want the slow aging controller and also immortal fairies, just edit the BCON of the slow aging controller.
6.) Fairies Float by Midge The Tree
Fairies will float like ghosts. They still touch back down to the ground for various animations, to stand around sometimes, etc., but they’ll float up to walk around and such. The fairy statue has options to add/remove the floating walk, but those options aren’t sticky: this mod is what you need to guarantee fairies automatically retain their floating-ness between different lots, load screens, etc.
7.) Only Plantsims/Fairies Talk to Plants by Midge The Tree
This mod removes the gold gardening badge check from the “talk to plants” interaction and in its place checks if the sim is a plantsim/fairy. There is a plantsim-only version, in case you don’t use the fairy lifestate or don’t want fairies to talk to plants.
8.) Plantsims Turn Into Fairies by Midge The Tree
This mod makes it so Plantsims turn into a small glowy ball, ala sims 3 fairies. The transition animations are switched out for the ones from the witch teleportation too.
